:)Thanks YAMPA,What would be a good controller to use
when I go DCC?

 :)What type of controller is required to operate the Soundtraxx system on the
84507 Baldwin loco I am going to purchase ?  Right now I am running a DC lay out.

 :)What would be the proper size to use for the ballast.I am
going to use Woodland Scenics ballast,I see they have "course,
medium,and fine".This for an ho layout.Maybe it is a personal
prefirence,I don't know for sure.Thanks for your thoughts.

Hi to all,
     What 50's era passenger cars will negotiate 18"
curves?
                                      Thanks for your help:)

 :)Figured that,where do you put the decoder?
It sure wont fit in the cab,that is why I think they
should have a tender for it.

 :)Picked a Mantua 0-6-0 tank switcher that has the 9 pin
plug for dcc.I got it for $29.00 on sale new in the box at
Hobby  Lobby store,runs great.Was wondering what it would
take to make it dcc.I am guessing it would be a tender with
a decoder on board,right or wrong? 

 :)I understand the idle loco part about over heating now.
What about over heating while running the analog loco
on the system I stated,using the Bachmann 44212
controller in conjunction with my DCC COMMANDER
controller?Thanks again.

 :)Will using the Bachmann #44212 pwr. pack that is
dcc compatible eliminate the over heating
problem when operating an analog loco on my dcc
layout? I am now using the Bachmann DCC COMMANDER
controller.I just bought a PRARIE 2-6-2 Bachmann
loco that is not dcc.Thanks all.

 :)Hi all,
I would like to add lighting to my passenger cars,and
would like to know if it can be done on my Bachmann
dcc system using the DIGITAL COMMANDER controller
with my Bachmann locos.

Yes they are a set of round house southern cars.
A combine, coach, sleeper,and a business car.
I am using these as they are 50' cars and will work
with my 18" radius curves.My layout is only a 9x4
layout.Thanks for your input.

 :)Would like to add some coach lights to my
new layout  I am using the Bachman Commander controller
on this layout.Are there any problems doing this
with digital equipment?Thanks to all.

 ::)Thanks guy's, yes I did function then and #10
turns it on,function then #1 goes dim to bright.
Bright is brighter than dim,but it is not what I
would call much of a light even on bright.The
need of a different LED is needed here I think.
Thanks again for all of your help folks.

 :)Nope, no lights function and #10 does not fix the
lights still no lights.

I am using the bachman E-Z command controler.According
to the label on the controler #10 is for the analog loco,
if one is used in conjunction with a dcc loco on the
layout.

 :)On my two bachman dcc,locos the head lights do not
work.Tried one way by pressing function and the #1
buttonas directed,but still no lights.This is a new set
out of the box.Any help is appreciated.
